From BBC Radio 4 - 15 Minute Drama:
The series which explores the 20th century through the diaries and correspondence of real people.
It's 1954 and the avant-garde commercial artist Monica Rawlins finds herself alone, in the middle-of-nowhere rural Cardiganshire, breeding geese. How has her life come to this? A heart-warming drama about unrequited love, unfulfilled dreams, art and poultry keeping.
2/5: Having endured an awful spring Monica hopes a visit from her nephew, the artist Geoffrey Rawlins, will bring some reprieve. Yet memories of the past are never far from her mind. Whilst in the present one very special gosling demands more attention than Monica can afford to give.
3/5: A trip to London offers Monica respite from the farm but not from memories of her ex-love. Meanwhile Stuart's declining health brings about a huge change back at Brynmeheryn.
4/5: Monica struggles with her true identity when a charming journalist interviews her about her geese and then a portrait painting session with her neighbour goes horribly wrong.
5/5: It's Christmas time. A time for joy, laughter and being surrounded by loved ones. But Monica can't think of anything worse. Alone, her thoughts once again turn to her ex-love. As the seasons greetings ring out around her, will Monica finally accept her life at Brynmeheryn without him?
Directed by Helen Perry
A BBC Cymru Wales Production
Monica Dolan is best known for her BAFTA award winning portrayal of Rosemary West in ITV's Appropriate Adult, alongside her roles in the BBC comedy W1A, and TV dramas The Casual Vacancy and Tipping the Velvet.
